For our first weekly challenge I thought I’d pick a photo that’s been making the rounds on the internet recently. It’s a still image of Senator McCain after the third debate. This silliness only existed for a fraction of a second (as you can see at 4:25 in this video), but thanks to the magic of still photography it’s been preserved for the ages.
So you tell me — what’s the caption?

Senator McCain: Barack Obama.…the Republicans biggest supporter Wal-mart told its employee’s not to vote for you and the Democrates. If they did then it would result could be a more level playing field for employee rights.
Why did the ‘associates’ not listen to Wal-mart executives?

Wal-Mart politics risk customer alienation
Commentary: Union fears may make sense, but resistance is pricey
By MarketWatch
Last update: 10:26 a.m. EDT Aug. 1, 2008Comments: 42LONDON (MarketWatch) — Wal-Mart is apparently back to its old tricks.
The largest U.S. retailer is coming under scrutiny for its efforts to encourage managers to oppose a bill that would make it easier for unions to organize workers. See related Wall Street Journal story.
It’s hardly surprising that Wal-Mart, the largest private employer in the U.S., would be wary of such a measure.
But whether it can make a plausible case to its employees against it without becoming deeply entangled in the complexities of labor law is another question.
It’s not that Wal-Mart can’t afford any penalties it might ultimately face for lobbying — some would argue intimidating — workers about how to vote. It’s simply a question of whether it can afford the fallout of being seen as so directly political.
Presumably its customer base is fairly representative of the overall U.S. population’s political beliefs. So the fear of unionization has to be pretty strong to risk alienating half its customers.

McCain: I’m telling you, my chances of winning were this big.
Obama: Uh-huh. Come back when your eyes are actually looking at the poles.
McCain: Alright, maybe it’s more of like this. *Sticks out tongue and moves hands closer*

Just found cool joke — Olympic stadium sign in china: stadium holds 120,000 Chinese or 80,000 Americans.
Was that you? I certainly hope it didn’t come from me!
